I wonder how they made the decision about balancing openness and lockdown. I appreciate that Intel did their PoCs etc but if you don't have a collaborative environment in the first place for people to connect and talk about these kinds of issues before making the decision... and yet decision makers seem happy to make a significant investment into developing platforms. I don't know if this means it is essentially flawed or whether this is a corporate reaction to openness - phase which will bring about a better longer term change - will be interesting to see what Intel and others think in a couple of years time I guess. I think I disagree at the moment about app stores, but what do I know, I have yet to submit anything to one - still, I'm not sure that they bring about collaborative development and innovation that they are always talking about - they cluster some developers and naturally they no longer have the time to talk with other developers as freely - too much focus on other things, especially developers who have had their applications rejected a number of times by an app store due to some triviality. I don't think Linux would ever have appeared if there had been an app store equivalent in the past. Very interesting – totally agree with corporate technology point.
